A very clever choice on the part of the show designers. These women are so powerful and influential that their mere footsteps reverberate in a crowd and demand attention. It tells you right away everything you need to know about their place in this world.
I love that they reuse the same shot whenever Satsuki clicks her heel everytime. Its like it was so perfect the 1st time the animators felt obligated to use every chance they had.
satsuki's heel clicks is two eighth notes with the heel first. Almost like she showing dominance over everyone by out doing everyone. Eighth notes are speedy and quick to preform And act. Ragyo, is two sixteenth notes with a very subtle toe first as if saying she is like royalty, is delicate, and important. And almost claiming she is the queen. Sixteenth notes melt into each other. Like ragyo and the life fibers. Meanwhile instead of a clicks ryuko has a full quarter note stomps whole foot down all at once showing rebellion and anger in a march like fashion. Almost controlled chaos. Quarter notes make up most of music. And the entire anime is about her and senketsu. while her stomps aren't emphasized like the clicks you can hear it.
+Danielle Treadwell late reply but no, because the heels r lifted at the back, if u walk heel first, u put a lot of pressure on ur heel and thus on the unsteady part of ur shoe, so u can literally just topple backwards. u normally put weight on ur toes when walking in heels to counterbalance the backward force the heel give. its hard to understand but just take a pair of heels (ur family's if u dont have urself) and try balancing
4:26 „You have no one to blame but yourself for wasting precious time on monologing at me,(...)“ FINALLY, she’s breaking that cliche, Satsuki is awesome!
The one where she almost falls backwards but is saved by her heel. Beautiful scene, kinda bummed it didn't make it in the video considering it's the most memorable one.
Kill la Kill is one of my favorite animes- great soundtrack, great voice actors, and great character design. The plot is ridiculous, and the lore is over the top, but that’s really what gives a fan service anime it’s soul anyway.
Soulecho Mew I am aware. I'm not justifying her actions, just admiring the character design. The creators did a great job at making a character who's outwardly appealing but awful. You love her, you hate her, and it's so satisfying watching her go down.
There was one memorable part they left out. In satsuki's first fight with royko. Royko finally pushed her back forcing her to heel click backward. I always thought that one was important.
I've personally used heel clicks in my writing as a way of fear My two most intimidating characters both have their entrances into a scene punctuated by the deafening clack of their heals against the silent room. Its really fun to write that.
While women are urged to wear heels for beauty standards, they are not pushed to use these or those heels in particular within their range of consumption. So, despite its rienced coercive origin, there is a component within the use of heels that falls legitimately within the scope of personal choice, or (just like the reader before the author) of taste before fashion as an empowerment of the individual and the recapture of some freedom. However, heels, among other historically renowned examples of women's footwear, have the indisputable feature of preventing them from walking too far or too fast: to weaken a degree of mobility and power that they'd perfectly have if not using them. Thus, beyond their cosmetic function and their problems within that scope, heels are a clear example of the possibility of means of control being effectively disguised as means of expression and thus, in general, of the fully functional but essentially fraudulent status that even the most common signs can reach... All this except in Kill La Kill, of course.
There was 4 Things this woman did that drove me insane. Heel click, Her Stance (with the sword in front both hands on the tip opened legs and just saying her speech), Her sitting in the chair like a BOSS and when she drank Tea. Ugh such a Regal Queen.
Actually I don't approve of you impersonating the Goddess. Granted imitation is the highest form of flattery. You are not worthy to parallel glorious Satsuki-sama. And I certainly don't appreciate people sexualising the Goddess, even though it's kinda done in KLK anyway but Satsuki-sama is pure and divine. Call me what you will! My faith is strong. Hail Satsuki-sama!
i always liked the sound of heel clicking. It feels like it gives you this "professional-woman" vibe whenever you hear those clicks as you walk. That and these compilation is satisfying in every way possible
...anybody else just get the mental image of a Heel Click happening, then the heel snapping off, with the usual fallout of such things happening after? I can't get it out of my head
Each carries the meaning of superiority over the person standing in front of them, or conviction in their words. Note the heel click for the moment when Satsuki was technically naked.
Wow... To me, Satsuki's heel clicks feel clear; whilst Ragyo's sound like trampling on stuff. I really respect Satsuki. She was made in the face of her mother and yet she became her own person independent of her. That is true strength.
Missed one in Episode 3 where they fought and Satsuki dodged Ryoku's Decapitation Mode strike. Otherwise, good compilation, seems the heel clicks mark all the climaxes.
While watching this, I wondered if the use of the heel click was a reference to Orwells 1984, where towards the end, O'Brian says "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." The three quotes Satauki repeats are also very similar to the three quotes on the ministry of Truth in 1984, "War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength.
Much like how heels were created for royals and power (usually men) back then. The creator definitely knows his stuff. Heels literally symbolize power and commands attention (as you see in this show). That's partially why women and even some men (myself included) today dawn them. The creator did good.👠
Alright, I haven't watched kill la kill in while but what's this show about again? Clothing is a metaphor for constricting societal conformity right? The enemies are literal pieces of clothing, which empower the villains to mold society into their vision, until the people are nothing but the clothes they wear, the threads weaving society itself. Ok, I think I talked myself through it, the metaphor is multi facetted because clothing is also a form of self expression, hence heroes also have their clothing thing. At least I think I got it. I could be just be in an entirely wrong ballpark.
Ragyo is the villain Steven Universe deserved TBH. White was good and scary and spooky and shit but her conflict was resolved in like 5 seconds despite being their BIGGEST THREAT. To me she should have been the one BIG villain that Steven just COULDN'T FIX. They kind of did that with Jasper but in the end she basically came around too. White not having a redemption arc would've made the series much better than it already is (which is saying a lot.) I wish White was more like Ragyo
Missed the one during the first fight between satsuki and ryuko where she bends backward dodging ryuko catches herself with the heel click and then comes back up. That one is my fave
One thing I always noticed was at the beginning of the OVA, when Mako points out that Satsuki did NOT click her heels when she leaves. I literally wanted to be Ryuko in the scene, just to have the ability to slap Mako and say "Duh, she's not wearing SHOES!"
I love how you made a compilation out of this. But you're still missing one heel click. The one during Ryuko and Satsuki's battle in episode 3. It may have been slow, but it still counts.
Everyone in the class: *Dead quiet*

The heel clicks hold the meaning of power throughout the series.
The meaning of being powerful was being naked
@@shero88 true doe
Good for you
@@shero88 have you ever heard of a joke.
Like, almost every female does it. Even Ryuko
In hindsight, as a Kiryuin (if not by name, then still by blood), Ryuuko should have gotten at least one heel click. xD
That would have been fun to watch. It would also have been interesting to see how Ryuuko would have given this kind of speech.
Senketsu does have heels, so yeah she should have definitely gotten one as a full fledged Kiryuin.
Her heel slid back during the final fight like once and I thought she was going to do it but then I was disappointed :/
CenturyNitro the real question is.....did Sōichirō Kiryūin have a heel click of his own??
aygecko some dress shoes have varying heel heights (but not as high as a high heel xD) so maybe yes?
Now Satsuki's eyebrows.
Also sexy. Every part of that girl is simultaneously arousing and demanding of respect.
@@Virjunior01 true
"you perpetually-frowning caterpiller-eyebrowed bitch!"
Don't bully her
Onr of my favorite examples of design in this show is that Ryuuko's face is designed to look up and Satsuki's face is designed to look down.
A very clever choice on the part of the show designers. These women are so powerful and influential that their mere footsteps reverberate in a crowd and demand attention. It tells you right away everything you need to know about their place in this world.
The show would never be the same without that Heel Clicking.
What about the "god rays"
Jotato steps on the ground with a heel click while god rays shines over him in a magnificent beauty.
I wish my heels clicked like that
LokiDoki depends on the heels.
Depends on the floors
Depends on your weight
Just get a bit of steel and put one at the heel, and one at the toe. Now you'll clack audibly on every last step, even outside.

I won’t complain
Beautiful. I love that you included the context of each heel click moment too - it retains the epicness behind the shoe.
I'm surprised Satsukis heels haven't broken by now, I mean she steps heel first...
+~KIata Moon~ Well, since that's no regular outfit, maybe it can withstand the heel clicks?
+Kimberly G Explain her outfit from before she put on the Kamui...
Byakuya Kuchiki It's a DRAMATIC heel click with a quiet background. So the click can sound that sharp and loud without using a lot of power.
Isn't it normal to walk heel-toe? Walking toe-heel seems weird.
+Danielle Treadwell late reply but no, because the heels r lifted at the back, if u walk heel first, u put a lot of pressure on ur heel and thus on the unsteady part of ur shoe, so u can literally just topple backwards. u normally put weight on ur toes when walking in heels to counterbalance the backward force the heel give. its hard to understand but just take a pair of heels (ur family's if u dont have urself) and try balancing

please no xD
Yes she will.
Isn't she's already dominatrix?
4:26 „You have no one to blame but yourself for wasting precious time on monologing at me,(...)“ FINALLY, she’s breaking that cliche, Satsuki is awesome!
Of course, after all she is KIRYUIN SATSUKI!!!
Aw there's one of Satsuki's clicks missing from while she was battling Ryuko. It's the slow motion one.
The most breathtaking click in the series.
The one where she almost falls backwards but is saved by her heel. Beautiful scene, kinda bummed it didn't make it in the video considering it's the most memorable one.
3:58 gets pretty close tho
It's crazy how they made a small detail like that a staple in which everyone can immidietly recognise the show by.

Weird that Satsuki knows how to walk in heels better than her mother. Should be the other way around.
Maybe is because to show her determination to overcome her mother and defeat her, she's better at heels just to spit her mother
I've personally used heel clicks in my writing as a way of fear
My two most intimidating characters both have their entrances into a scene punctuated by the deafening clack of their heals against the silent room.
Its really fun to write that.
3:57 Ragyo just got pissed because Satsuki heel clicked toe first that time instead
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
TH-cam recommendations: "Here watch all the heel clicks from kill la kill"
As it should be. The more people are reminded of this anime (or see it for the first time), the better.
And we all clicked it
nah i searched for it and it was worth it
The heel click is a power move. The impact of it was powerful each and everytime

Wut...
Lunar Republic Look it up. I heard it was for meat cleavers who worked at meat shops so that their feet wouldn't get dirty with the blood.
Heels originally were for men.
+Al Speid it actually was for men in general to show off their calves! So it was actually made for fashion and not for butchers!
in Kill la Kill on the other hand, they are for dramatic effect and heel clacking to assert dominance.
I already remembered this show as being intentionally very funny. The fact they reuse that exact heel shot so many times is so fucking great lol
Ragyo: both toes and heel
Satsuki: heel first, toes later
Ryuko: toes first and heel later?
I did not realise how many heels clicks were in this show until now
satsuki, *_I KNOW YOU ARE MY SISTER, BUT THOSE HEEL CLICKS ARE ANNYOING SIS_*

Notice the difference between the two clicks. Ragyo steps flat with her foot and Satsuki steps heel first.

Imagine the editor of this show actually thinking "damn, heel click again? That's the 5th time in this week!"
Heel clicks have never been soo interesting before.
Gonna be honest, when I'm in a situation where I'm feeling anxious, I think of Satsuki and clack my heel for a confidence boost.
Missed one in Episode 3 where they fought and Satsuki dodged Ryoku's Decapitation Mode strike. Otherwise, good compilation, seems the heel clicks mark all the climaxes.

2:43 the explosion of the OST after the click is so good

doesn't matter if protagonist or antagonist characters who can fight in heels will always have my respect

The heel click definitely woke me up to new parts of myself. Still coming to terms with that years later.

I clicked on this with the high hope that it would literally just be a barrage of heel clicking and was only slightly disappointed
